“It’s a love story, but it’s also not a love story”, says Edward (James McArdle), when asked by interviewers about his soon-to-be-published novel.
The same is true of Four Mothers, Darren Thornton’s follow-up to A Date For Mad Mary (2016), a comedy of great sweetness and charm focusing on the bond between a boy and his mother.
